The environmental conditions found in pharmaceutical autoclave chambers are extreme for any equipment. These same conditions are a major cause of sensor failure in chamber/load probes. This is due to the ingress of moisture into the sensor and the unacceptable leakage of steam/condensate through the bulkhead connection.

The Sterimaster® Chamber/Load Sensor has been designed to withstand these conditions and offers a reliability factor surpassing that previously obtainable. Every weld undergoes NDT examination and each completed assembly is leak tested.

RTD and thermocouple assemblies are available. Further information can be found in Conax Technologies’ Sterimaster Bulletin 6012. Contact your Conax Technologies representative, our Sales offices, or go to our website to obtain a copy.
